Abstract

We introduce a mean to tailor two-photon interference in a network, comprised of multiple time bins, via classical coherence control. Our approach relies on analyzing distinct features of time-bin local and network-wide global two-photon interferences.

Local Versus Global Two-Photon Interference in Quantum Networks

Thomas Nitsche, Syamsundar De, Sonja Barkhofen +6 more

We devise an approach to characterizing the intricate interplay between classical and quantum interference of two-photon states in a network, which comprises multiple time-bin modes. By controlling the phases of delocalized single photons, we manipulate the global mode structure, resulting in distinct two-photon interference phenomena for time-bin resolved (local) and time-bucket (global) coincidence detection. This coherent control over the photons' mode structure allows for synthesizing two-photon interference patterns, where local measurements yield standard Hong-Ou-Mandel dips while the global two-photon visibility is governed by the overlap of the delocalized single-photon states. Thus, our experiment introduces a method for engineering distributed quantum interferences in networks.

Resource-efficient parallel entanglement generation for multinode quantum networks via time-bin multiplexing

Wenbo Zhang, Jing Zheng, Yimin Wang +1 more

Nonlocal entanglement generation among multiple remote quantum nodes provides a critical foundation for a variety of counterintuitive quantum applications. The exponential loss of photons transmitting over optical fibers sets an upper limit for entangling these quantum nodes. Here, we propose a resource-efficient and parallel protocol for entangling multiple remote quantum nodes via time-bin multiplexing. The transmission of a single photon with qudit-encoding in the time-bin mode enables entangling multiple stationary qubits in parallel, when single photons and individual stationary qubits interfaces are used and photon-state modulations are properly introduced before subsequently impinging the photon into each interface. Our protocol can generate parallel multipartite entanglement among ($N\geq3$) quantum nodes with the dimension of the photonic time bins independent of $N$, exponentially reducing the requirements for the coherence time of the stationary qubits and for the complexity of the photonic modulations. These distinct features make our protocol particularly advantageous for the development of multinode quantum networks.

To exploit the full potential of structured photons in quantum domain, the control over two-photon quantum interference is needed. By using a q-plate we tune such interference in a compact, efficient and robust way.
